The amendment mandates that each school district must pay certified special education teachers, who are teaching special education courses full-time, an annual salary of no less than $52,000 starting from the 2026-2027 school year.

This legislative change aims to ensure that special education teachers receive a competitive salary, reflecting the importance of their role in the education system. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor, thereby establishing a new standard for compensation in this critical area of education.
